Annie's Song - The Petersens (LIVE)

We asked our Patreon community what song they wanted us to learn next and they voted for "Annie's Song"! Katie did such a lovely job with the arrangement, and singing this song brings back so many memories of growing up camping and playing music around a campfire.

Hope you enjoy our rendition of this John Denver classic!

►We love a good fire!

►LYRICS - Annie's Song
You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

(La, la-la, la, laaa, laaa....)

Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again

*LYRICS - Annie's Song*

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

(La, la-la, la, laa, laa...)

Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Oh come, let me love you
Come love me again
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again

From a grumpy old man who lives way across the pond in the UK, you guys really have a beautiful thing going on there but, please, please, please tell your mum to stop hiding away at the rear, she’s the concrete that cements the bond between you all, she’s very much the most important part of who you guys are.

[kitthebrit]

Love this version of Annie's song. Discovered it by accident and will now check out more from the Petersens.

[stonehold]

I'm an old guy so I've loved this song for a long time. I heard it as a man's song because John Denver, Katie changed my mind. It's on my list of favorites now. Please never quit, we need all the beautiful music you kids care to make.

[myrrdin]

I like Katie with her old-timey look. Her hairstyle and the fact she always wears long dresses.

[goncalonunodurao]

Such a great song of Denver.
And Petersens Sing and play so well .
Thanks.
It's like a tribute to John Denver .
God bless John Denver.
This is ONE OF BEST MELODIES EVER

[underwoodvoice]

Why do I always feel better after a Petersens' video? Never mind, I'm just happy that I do.

[bennuballbags]

Singing while fiddling, what a talent that girl is! The whole band is exceptional.

[RachaelGenX]

My daddy used to sing this song all the time.
He left this world in December 2018. He would love this

[lynerobinson]

This was sung at my wedding 47 years ago by a good friend. My husband passed away 6 years ago--I miss him so much!!!

[bobsternvogel]

Katie really shines on both vocals and fiddle, and now I see she did the arrangement as well! Hope all those who requested this song are as pleased as I am.

[ferdinandoscala]

I learned Annie’s song when I was 17, at the senior year of the prestigious Nunziatella Military School in Naples, Italy. I loved it so much, that I sang it on stage during Christmas Show that traditionally is held for families. I should have known: Anna (the Italian version of Ann) was the name of my grand-grandmother, my grandmother, my mother…Guess what? My wife’s name - I met her fifteen years after that Show - is Anna. So the name and the song are really near to my heart. Having you guys and ladies executing it in such an heartfelt way is a blessing. I really love you all, thank you for all the wonderful music.

[mjrising]

Never really have been a big bluegrass fan, but I adore this family and come back regularly to hear them work their magic....

[jiggyflythetrucker]

There must be a million ways to tell someone that you love them. This is definitely one of the best ways anyone has ever come up with. VERY well done 👍

[neilsmith]

The appeal of this family band spans the generations and the globe. I'm based in the UK. I'm a fan; my kids are fans, particularly as we sing and play guitar together as a family at home. An incredibly talented family and always a genuine pleasure to listen to.

[dadejavusc]

I wasnt expecting the key change and it sounded even better

[高山俊二-kq]

Oh, I miss John Denver so much. But his beautiful songs, for example ' Leaving on a jetplane ' will remain the same eternally. I like the way The Petersens sing this song.

[gianfrancoperticone]

Katie is the sweetest girl in the world. Is always a pleasure listening her to sing. Ciao from 🇮🇹. Gianfranco.

[cliffsunn]

Katie has some wonderful smooth vibrato and let us not forget, Mum on bass is holding this group together as a solid rhythm section

[citizenlbt]

Katie embodies the absolute beauty of the Celts and their musical genius. Love to all the Petersons.
